The Grand Opening of the Reagan Market

Our Welcome Booth

We had our first Reagan Market and...... it RAINED!

It was SUPER hot and muggy and when the rain started, it POURED. I felt horrible because we had so many vendors running around trying to frantically load all their merchandise into their trucks and cars - and we were frantically helping them out!

Although it rained, we got some really positive feedback about the Grand Opening of the Reagan Market and I think it was a success!!

We made it into NBC's "Things To Do" list and We made a list of our fabulous vendors!!

The rain really was not supposed to come until around 4 - which by that time would have been the time that everyone would have been packing up. We were relying on weather.com's hour by hour breakdown and it is obviously NOT reliable. The rain came 2 hours early!

I'm clearly not having this rain right now!

After the turnout at the first market, I really wanted to be in the front parking lot. The next morning, I was up early to talk to the school to see if we could be in the front parking lot next time. I really want this to be a fun Market where the community can come together and we can ultimately support groups at the high school. We shall see! For now, we were ABLE to get the front lot and it will be on August 16th!! See you there!
